1t is the custom on many farms to
throw more corn to the hogs than they
will eat up clean. This is mistake,
for only so much as they will eat with
good relish should be given. A good
appetite is essential, for without this
the hog will not eat sufficient food to
lay on fat readily. Do not depend on
corn alone, but give variety of food,
for by this means the system will be
kept in better condition, and the hogs
will eat more and thrive better. Spring

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.

JAMES JACKSON, the famous State detect
I've, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties are
to examine carefully the face of every con-
vict as he enters, and to scrutinize every
visitor in order to prevent any discharged
convict seeing his pals. Occasionally he
has to make long journeys in pursuit of
runaway prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted in other States. He never makes
a mistakes; if once he looks a man in the
eye he will know him under any disguise,
as he tells his man by the look of his eyes.
Once an escaped convict had his nose pared
down one third, but Jackson detected him
at once, notwithstanding this remarkable
change of feature. Mr.. Jackson is about 5
feet inches in height, about 35 years old,
Of light and sineWy build, with black hair
and piercing black eyes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows about
10, 600 criminals, and it is simply wonderful
that he can distinguish the features of eY-
cry one. On his long journeys he eats very
moderately and always takes one Brand
reth pill at night. When much fatigued by
the jolting of the cars on his tires ONE trips
he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him re-
newed vigor and quickly relieve him of all
WEAKNESS. These are the only two RENE
dies he uses, and he attributes his vigor and
remarkable health to Allcock's Porous
Plasters and Brandreth's Pills. Sing Sing,

Good Beef for Poor Lo.

The stock men of the Red Rock region are
making bitter complaints because the Indians
of the Lemhi reservation have learned trick
which is reducing the profits of cattle raising
in that region almost as much as a severe
winter
The red men made the discovery that cattle
were prone to wander onto the railroad tracks
and be killed, and they also perceived that
the carcasses were carefully preserved and
taken away. Being out of meat most of the
time, the gentle savage scattered himself
along the track for many miles, and as soon
as steer was tossed to one side by the loco
motive, he fastened rope to the carcass and
dragged it Off The railroad company has
made it practice to indemnify the owners
for all the cattle killed on the track, and it
has found that policy cheaper than building
fences
The Indians saw that cattle frequently met
death in this way, and they have of late been
charged with facilitating the casualties by
driving a steer or two into the tracks
The cattle men began to wonder why so
many carcasses We're found along the track,
and having set watch they discovered that
the savage was living high at their expense
and the railroad company's They now de-
mand that the agent at Lemhi keep his in

BERNHARDT,S DEATH SCENE.
How the Great French Actress Dies In
rau-Erau-ReaIistic Acting.

How the Great French Actress Dies In
Observation-Disclosures Acting.
Bernhardt was dressed in plain, loose
dress of the sombrest black: it made her hair
by contrast look actually red; it is red as
matter of fact, but not of apronounced shade,
and unless it is thus brought out by sharp
contrast. the fact escapes the recognition of
many a chance observer. Moreover, her red
hair is in violent disorder; it strays about
either side of her face somewhat after the
manner of the conventional witch; and a
tuft stands almost straight up on the middle
of her head. Her face has the most ashen
pallor, and her open mouth, dropped jaw and
languid movements indicate the extremity of
weakness. She is assisted to a sofa and the
scene progresses.
When the death scene proper begins, Bern
hardt has the boy George on his knees before
her, her sister and her husband at her right
and left respectively. She stretches her limbs
as one might in fit of lastitude Her arms
are extended wide ON either side and her
hands are open, the fingers spread apart. She
withdraws her hands from this position in a
moment to toy with Georges long hair. Her
voice. in its tremulous, husky infections,
growing gradually inarticulate, cannot, of
course, be described. She smiles continuously,
but in so doing rolls the lower lip down. ex-
posing her teeth, as if to indicate that she had
not the strength TO bring her jaws together
Still, unless the spectator knew the lines, he
would not expect the end to come as quickly
as it does. "Ah," heard some one say, "if
the acting is realistic, would not physician
know just where to expect the last gasp"
Perhaps so: we shall see.
The actress continues to give directions in
faint voice for her burial, her eyes wander
ing from George to her sister Suddenly she
stops in the middle of sentence, stares
straight ahead, shivers slightly, closes her
fingers convulsively together as they rest on
Georges head, appears to gasp for breath
that she cannot get, and then her head falls
back upon the cushion and rolls to one side,
the eyes staring. the mouth open. AS the
head falls she makes a slight choking sound
as if one should try to say Ali without using
any breath. In the very lobby l met an
ancient physician who had been an atten-
tive observer of the scene. "Realistic?" lie
queried. 1T was effective. Isn't that quite
sufficient? / never saw anybody die that
way; but | presume Nine. Bernhart rlay
have | don't believe, however, that our
great actors and actresses study models of
expiring people in the hospitals as theY are
said to do in popular legends. No two per-
sons die alike any more than they live alike,
and if Mime. Bernhart were to endtavor to
be realistic rather than artistic my impress
sion is that the spectators would say that she
did not know how to die correCtly.-Uncle

Needles, Pins and Fish Hooks.

According to the most recent estimate, the
present production of needles in Redditch,
England, is not less than So, 0O0, 600 per week,
and, as may be inferred from this enormous
aggregate, machinery has been brought to
bear upon the trade i'll a most extensive de-
gree, and with marked success. The point
ing of the needless one of the most delicate of
all the operations, is now almost exclusively
done by machinery, and so is the cutting,
Swimming, stamping, cycling, tempering,
counting, heading and failing, blueing, bur-
nishing, finishing, asserting and sticking.
New and improved machines for all these
processes have been successfully introduced
during the last twenty years or So and, I'M
like the experience in other trades, the ma
chine work about needles is not only cheaper
but better.
The latest novelty, and one which is pro-
nounced success, is the "grooving" machine
for making sewing machine needles, the old
stamping process being thereby superseded.
Work done by the growing" machine is
better and truer, beside being more econom-
cal The old process of ether gelding has
been almost entirely superseded by the newer
and improved method OF electro gelding.

every week an average of 20,0O0,000 fish
hooks of all descriptions, from that required
by the angler of minnows in the streamlet to
that adapted for pike and salmon fishermen.
Machinery is very largely used in the manu-
facture of fish hooks, and, in connection with
the smaller class of sea hooks, electro thinning
is being extensively adopted. Fishing rods,
floats and swivels now constitute important
branches of Redditch industry, and con-
siderable trace is growing up in the pro-
duction of artificial flies, which gre exclu-
